It depends where you're committing things.  One of the best reasons
for branching in a traditional version control setup is to give
authors a place to check in their partially-finished (i.e. "broken")
work.  That _improves_ results in numerous ways.  Obviously, there has
to be some kind of check in the system for bad commits, but only those
that a library author declares to be "good," and thus, ready for
release.
